This is an intriguing post. With the background you've shared, it begs the question how you got started following BYU
sports and how long you've been on board. Is it for football only? Tia

I like them.

Better than expected for all Navy. All Royal is better though of course.

The all navy unis are my least favorite. Look like blueberries out there.

People liked the Navy helmets and tan in 99 too. We all know how that turned out

I don't know a single person who liked the tan.

That was a color combo that MIGHT'VE worked in '77.

Nobody liked navy and tan. Those uniforms were horrible.

That tan wasn't subtle at all. It was solid, & very heavy in yellow.

It was dreadful. I was so excited when I learned BYU was going to have Nike...

Remember the poop-stain cougar head on basketball shorts?

Those were absolutely cringeworthy. I don’t know how those ever got made.

A good laugh. There was a national announcer who made a deadpan comment on them.

Tan should NEVER be a sports team color.

The all navy looks really good. I also like how the helmet looks with navy helmet, navy top, white pants. I’m not sold

BYU has one of the most iconic helmets in all of CFB

As soon as fans realize this isn't them, the better. This is for the players on the field. And I love it.

It’s for players and recruits

Legit such a poor argument when BYU has worn blue helmets throughout its history

"Throughout its history." How about since BYU actually had a brand to protect?

Nobody flips through channels anymore. I see this argument a lot, and it hasn’t been valid for 20 years

Blue helmets in navy and royal will be cool. I’ve wanted to see those for years.
BlooCoog
2/23/21 9:17am
We could always go all Navy and paint the field navy as well.
Northpaw
2/23/21 9:42am
And have one player lay down for kick-offs?! such a great idea!
cmoney
2/23/21 9:49am
BYU needs to decide what its dang color is. That navy helmet is horrible.
Zastava
2/23/21 9:47am
More options and colors is what players want. Get used to it.

Agree this. Fan's tastes will be all over the spectrum based on their age and personal views. Most important opinions
CLCougar

Meh, I’ll just turn off the TV or give my seats away when they’re wearing Navy.

Really? You would stop watching because they are wearing a color that you do not

Nope. I’m a child of the 70’s and 80’s. BYU=royal. I can’t stomach navy.

Well I guess you will be a Utah state fan now.

Nope.

I’m a horrible fan. I watch BYU sports purely for entertainment purposes.

You don't have to follow them blindly, but your odd connection to a single color

I don’t like Navy. BYU’s insistence on using it annoys me.

You are definitely looking for an excuse to be angry.

I’m not angry.

You are acting like it, over the color of navy blue. Saying that your time is

Since you followed BYU in the 70's when the program was just coming into vogue that puts you in your late 50's or 60's

Bronco had players burn the navy helmets when he started. For good reason.

Yeah, I’m sure that happened.

The uniform template is exactly the same. They are just adding blue lids.
